Down Among the Dead Men lyrics

[Intro]
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down

[Verse 1]
Here's a health to the King and a lasting peace
To faction end, to wealth increase
Come, let us drink while we have breath
For there's no drinking after death

[Chorus]
And he that will this health deny
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!

[Verse 2]
In smiling Bacchus' joy I'll roll
Deny no pleasures to my soul
Let Bacchus' health 'round briskly move
For Bacchus is the friend of love

[Chorus]
And he that would this health deny
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!
[Verse 3]
May love and wine their rights maintain
And their united pleasures reign
While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board
We'll sing that joy that both afford

[Chorus]
And they that won't with us comply
Down among the dead men, down among the dead men
Down, down, down, down
Down among the dead men let him lie!
